we should cut the pentagon budget, right? we at the center for american progress would cut the pentagon budget dramatically, not as much as sequestration because we do think you need a glide path. but i disagree with this premise. you are seeing on both sides much more interest in cutting the pentagon budget. but the challenge is we should be focused on economic growth. economic growth for the middle class and competitiveness over the long term. and what's wrong with sequestration is not to me in my mind the pentagon cuts, but the cuts to all the things that matter that we all argue about matter to middle class families and poor families, which is pre-k, education, learning, and research brands that drive innovation in our economy. so as a progressive -- hold on. no, no, as a progressive i say we can have a balanced approach that actually thinks about competitiveness and growth and inequality and reducing inequality over the long term. we should cut the pentagon budget but this is a dumb way to do it. and as progressives we s

publishing the pentagon papers revealed a government making public statements about the vietnam war that it knew to be false. the watergate revelations revealed a cancer of government corruption. making public personal phone numbers and family conversations about the health of an ill father are no one's business but the family. for the most part the mainstream media handled the bush e-mail hacking with restraint. we report the the hacking. that is news but little else. still, the episode is a less-than-gentle reminder of how technology is redefining our culture, the whole idea of privacy, and, yes the respect or lack of respect that honest citizens should have for each other. these rat things that all of us not just journalists may want to think about. how the news is delivered will take care of itself. ould aluminum production in south africa, and the aerospace industry in the u.s.? at t. rowe price, we understand the connections of a complex global economy. it's just one reason over 75% of our mutual funds beat their 10-year lipper average. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. reques

totally downsize the pentagon. and really ambiguity on israel, too. is that possible that's why he was picked? >> well, actually, i think even more revealing when he said it doesn't matter what i think, i'm not in a policy role. in other words, obama has chosen a stooge who has no independent thoughts, who is not going to be in the way, who is simply going to be there as a plug so that he can continue to slash the pentagon budget. this was a five-car pile-up, larry. this was a fiasco, a debacle, whatever you want to call it. what happened in the hearing today is this shifted from an issue of ideology to an issue of competence. would we be willing to trust this man if he went in to go talk to the russians, if he went in to the middle east. i don't think anyone in good conscience looking at him can say he's prepared, he's sober, he has a grasp of these issues. it was an embarrassing performance. the worst in my lifetime, larry, and i'm not alone. a lot of mainstream reporters saying this was really bad. >> aw shucks, jennifer, i can think of many in you
